Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including the streetscene
The living conditions of the occupiers of 170 and 172 Harefield Road and the future occupiers of the appeal scheme

What decided it

The proposed development would appear as a cramped form of development on one of the smallest residential plots in the area, failing to respect the spacious character of the streetscene, and would cause unacceptable harm to living conditions through mutual overlooking and loss of privacy.

Plan policies cited: Policy BE1, Policy DMH 6, Policy DMHB 11, Policy DMHB 12, Policy D3

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
